In a world filled with war and political turmoil, Project Kesher activists continue to improve the lives of women and girls. Whether it’s funding women-owned businesses in Ukraine, supplying Ukrainian nurses with e-bikes, or supporting thousands of Ukrainian and Russian-speaking immigrants to integrate into Israel, Project Kesher is taking…One Step Forward. Every Day.
Join Project Kesher for our 2025 Annual Benefit as we unite our community and global leaders to reflect on progress, share inspiring stories, and generate critical support for our work in Ukraine and Israel.
